Chelsea 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion: Welbeck late header denies Tuchel's men in stoppage time

 

Romelu Lukaku looked to have secured all three points for Chelsea against Brighton and Hove Albion, but Danny Welbeck had other ideas.

Danny Welbeck scored in stoppage time as Brighton and Hove Albion deservedly claimed a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

Romelu Lukaku followed up his first Premier League goal since September in Sunday's 3-1 win at Aston Villa and looked like he would help his side to a second consecutive top-flight win with a fine header shortly before the half-hour mark.

Brighton carved out a host of opportunities in the second period and sealed the point their enterprising display deserved in added time when substitute Welbeck headed past Edouard Mendy.

That goal meant Chelsea moved into second above Liverpool but only by a point, while Brighton went up a place to 10th.
